Yes. In many areas, DSL providers are often the budget-friendly option for homeowners, especially where cable/fiber aren’t available. Some providers to look at include:

  • AT&T Internet / AT&T DSL — Available in some legacy DSL areas; pricing varies by location and promotions.
  • CenturyLink / Lumen DSL — Often one of the more affordable choices in rural and suburban areas.
  • Frontier DSL — Available in certain regions, with budget-oriented plans in some markets.
  • Windstream Kinetic — Serves many smaller towns and rural areas; sometimes offers lower-cost DSL plans.
  • Verizon or other local telcos — In a few markets, legacy DSL may still be offered through regional phone companies.

A few tips:

  • Check the actual speed and data caps — Budget DSL can be very slow compared with modern cable/fiber.
  • Ask about promotional vs. regular pricing — Intro rates can jump after 12 months.
  • Look for local incumbent phone companies — They often have the only DSL service in remote areas.
  • Consider fixed wireless or 5G home internet too — In some limited-broadband areas, these may be cheaper and faster than DSL.
